Rules for telescopic bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Check depth and drainage
The free site survey checks how far down we can dig, where services run under the drive and how the ground drains. If water will stand, a drain connection is priced into the fixed written quote.
Form the drainage
A gravel soakaway is placed beneath the cassette, or a pipe is laid to a surface water drain or new soakaway.
Set the cassette
The cassette is set vertical and its top exactly at finished surface level and fall, then concreted in. A cassette set high or low is a common cause of tyre damage and trip edges.
Reinstate and test
The surface is made good to match. The post is raised, locked, lowered and locked several times to confirm smooth operation, and keys are handed over.
Telescopic bollards in Surrey: FAQs
Do you cover all of Surrey for telescopic bollards?

How much do telescopic bollards cost in Surrey?
In Surrey, typically £365–£1,245 per bollard with cassette, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£435–£1,495 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £675 plus VAT, using our South East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Surrey?
For local roads, Surrey County Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Will a telescopic bollard stop my car being stolen?
It adds a physical barrier that a thief has to defeat before driving away, which slows them down and makes the car a less attractive target. It is one layer of protection, not a complete answer to keyless car theft.
What if it freezes in winter?
Freezing usually means water is standing in the cassette. Do not force the post; pour warm, not boiling, water around the lid and lift once free. Then have the drainage checked.
